BrandoFan Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I know it's hard to grasp, but it's totally possible to both ENJOY the electricity it brings and kind of comraderie it promotes....AND pay attention to the actual game pitch-by-pitch at the same time. In fact, the best game I saw in person in 2003 was the 8-6 EI win against Twinckies when the crowd was absolutely crazy; I don't recall missing anything remotely important- and I always participate. So, instead of knee-jerk hating-hating-hating, why don't y'all intractable fun-haters address the real problem: your OWN inflexible, traditionalist, low-energy cranky selves; 'baseball' doesn't have to rhyme with 'comatose'-- it's too glorious a game for that.......Just deal with it and don't spoil it for everyone else, especially for us, YOUNG people. If anything, the WAVE == casual fans == stadium sell-outs == revenues == cash flow == higher payroll we've been asking for for so long. I find it to be truly pathetic that a lot of people would rather see a half-empty park than to have "that commie soccer wave from hell contaminating our precious fluids" :fyou Julie Sweica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wong & Owens Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I don't understand people's incessant need to complain about the wave. The only valid complaint is that it blocks your view of the field, but for less time than it takes some fat guy to cross in front of you to hit the john. I say, if it adds more fun to the spectating experience, then I'm all for it. When in Rome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Just wondering Bradno, if you have season tickets? If you do, then carry on with all the attendence posts, but if not, then dont b****, if your part of the problem. I am not a season ticket holder, but I do attend 7-12 games a year. In the past, I never had the money (and time) to afford more. Now I am thinking about going to at least 15-20 games in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 As long as we are on attendance, have there been any reports of increases in ticket prices, parking fees or such like that? EDIT: Hey, I just noticed that I got a promotion to AA Birmingham!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 The wave is super cool at a college football game when everyone is completely s*** faced. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 I don't understand people's incessant need to complain about the wave No worries, this reactionary whinin' is but a passing thing. Wave is practically an American institution, right up there with apple pie and fatuity. Unassailable always and forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 The wave is truly ignorant when you got drunk guys starting the wave every 5 minutes and they have not realized people actually want to watch the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 The wave is truly ignorant when you got drunk guys starting the wave every 5 minutes and they have not realized people actually want to watch the game... Please, there is nothing funnier than 5 drunk guys doing the wave by themselves. Nobody says you have to join them. If the majority of the crowd follows suit, well, welcome to democracy.

Rowand44 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 The wave sucks, it just blocks the view of the people who actually want to watch the game, people who do the wave, just don't care about whats going on, on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Waves...Ha! There ain't no waves in the midwest, boys. It should be a west coast thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Even my 4-year-old is bored by the wave. I love playing the on-screen games with her ( truck races, shell game, etc. ) so I can appreciate them for the family factor, but the wave is just plain annoying. If people want to do it, fine, I guess, but I won't be joining in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I was at the Sox, Angles game, when Frank hit 2 HR, (one walk off) and in 9th,2-2, three 21 year old guys with there shirts off wanted to start the wave. Watch the game assholes. The wave is only good during A. A blowout,or B. A sleeper. Or... C. A rain Delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 You will not catch me doing the wave at USCF ... ever. Hell, I even refused to do it in St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
